"Can you help me pack my stuff tonight?" Erin asked Brad and I as we walked to math.
"Youre packing already?" I asked shocked.
"Yeah, you leave in two months! Not two days." Brad added.
She sighed. "Yes but I like to be organised. You of all people should know that."
"Erin, its a bit of a shock to me and Brad though don't you think? First you telling us you're leaving in to go half way across the world in less than sixty days, and then asking us to pack up the place we spent a lot of our childhood."
She sighed again but deeper. "Look I know its really hard for you guys but I need your support with this. If you were moving to the other side of the planet, you would want me to help surely?"

Its only now I realised how quiet the halls were and we were in the science block.
"Have we just walked this entire way without realising?" Brad laughed.
We ran all the way to the math block, I pecked brads lips as he walked into his lesson and me and Erin decided to walk to ours which was all the way at the end.
As we reached the door, we took a deep breath and walked in. Immediately all eyes turned to us.
"Ahhh if it isn't Elora and Erin." Mr Walters said sarcastically.
"It is. We've been in this class for two years in a row, you should be able to match a face to the names." I immediately regretted saying it.
"You two in my office at break time! Now sit and open page 673, questions 1-9. I expect them all done or I will add an additional after school and lunchtime to the break time detention you already have!"
I exhaled deeply and sat down. I opened my book and subtly ripped out the first page. I scribbled a quick note.

I will come to your house after school. I'll drag brad with me if I have to ;-)  x

I passed it to her when Mr Walters wasn't looking. I watched her face lighten when she read it. I heard footsteps behind me and Erin's table.
"Girls there is not a sufficient amount of work done here. I will phone your parents to inform them that you will be here for an hour after school." Mr Walters snooty voice bellowed from behind me.
I groaned loudly. "Miss Jackson, is there a problem with that?" He pushed.
"No of course there isn't sir!" I said sarcastically.
"Good." He said and walked back to his desk.
I whipped my phone out from my pocket and texted Brad.

To: Bradleh :-*

Got a break, lunch and after school with Erin :'(
Dont wait after school for us :-[ love you xxx

I opened the book on a random page and pretended to read it. My phone vibrated and I mentally prayed to god for how grateful I was that I remembered to put it on silent this morning.

From: Bradleh :-*

"How is your mum about the move?" I asked. The week had finished and we were walking up the hill to Brad's house as we were sleeping at Erin's after helping her pack.
"She's upset I guess. I haven't really spoken to her about it."
We reached Brad's house and we knocked on the door.
Nat, Brad's sister, opened the door and beamed.
"Hi girls! He'll be down in a sec. Do you want to come in?"
"Its OK." I smiled.
Brad ran down the stairs and kissed Nat on the cheek. "See you later."
She laughed. "Bye!" She shut the door and we set off to Erin's.

We had packed all her posters and pictures from her walls and put them all in boxes.
"What do you want to do?" Erin sighed.
"We could watch a film?" Brad suggested.
I can't even remember what film they put in because I drifted to sleep with thoughts of the fact I was with my two favourite people.

Hi guys! Sorry for not updating in forever. The next chapter will be when brad leaves and so does Erin :-[
